Ladies and Gentlemen, I have never been big on internet trends. I see the internet chiefly as a tool by which I can annoy people (meaning keep in touch) from increasingly long distances as I travel through the real world. But the other day I was engaging in one of my favorite boredom-fighting activities, …
From Martin Luther’s 1545 “Depictions of the Papacy”, here we have German peasants expressing their distaste for the fire and brimstone preaching of Pope Paul III by farting directly into it. Now, that seems potentially dangerous, as brimstone is mostly sulfur and already quite noxious, and the flammability of German flatulence (often cabbage-based) is …
Things saving my sanity right now: Books. Specifically finishing up Craig Ferguson’s “Between the Bridge and the River” and starting in on Forrest Griffin’s “Got Fight?”… Can’t do too much moving, liked this picture, it’s all books and the internet right now. Huzzah. RJC
Clutch performing “Texan Book of The Dead” live somewhere or other. I have been recently listening to their self-titled album far too much and enjoying it also too much. In a decent amount of pain right now due to potentially broken ribs, so no more posting from me for a while. Though I am stuck …

Another cold sunrise inside my being, consciousness glaring unpleasantly above the ever-breaking sea of potential. Dare I dip my mind-toes into it? Looks cold. Get me some psychic hip-waders and I might get something done. RJC

And of course, our mind twists the onlookers into enormous, papier maché headed men in trenchcoats. What I really want to know, though, is what kind of camera the photographer used that allowed this delusion to …
The soul-scape of America. Hm. Vinier than I thought it would be. RJC
Current conditions inside my brain: Stormy with a 100% chance of electrical activity. Off to clean and do ludicrously grown up things like purchase Drain-o and do laundry. Then back here to administer Drain-o and make the bed. My temporary lodging is coming to an end, and I am abuzz with activity. Onto the next …
